Question

Using a Table to find the Constant of Proportionality

his table represents a proportional relationship. Use the table to identify the constant of proportionality between the
atio of the number of laps to the number of swimmers,

Answer 1

k = 12

Explanation:

The constant of proportionality k is the ratio

k =
`(laps)/(swimmers)`

Use any ordered pair from the table to find k

Using number of laps = 240, number of swimmers = 20 , then

k =
`(240)/(20)` = 12
